Then theoretically go to sleep for 30hrs straight. Wake up, and start your LCR/SCR/FDP that you were previously notified of.
At 1947 when you acknowledged the PRL for Day 2 you should have also been notified of ending your current day LCR that you were on at 1947 and notification of your next LCR duty starting around 0147 on Day 3. Then go to bed for 30hrs and wake up at 0147 on Day 3 with a phone call for a 14hr callout for a report at 1547. That would have been the absolute earliest you should have worked.
I agree that is one way it could have gone down. But another, and more likely what actually happened, is the PRL was put on my JC at 1947 (day 1), I acknowledged, and went about my life (there may have been a CS call and voicemail, but don't remember for sure). The next morning when I woke around 10 (day 2), I saw the JC notification for the following day (day 3) show of 1748, acknowledged it, and went about my life. No need for a call from CS in the wee hours of day 3.
